This event is physically demanding. There will be bending, pulling and walking on ground with tripping hazards. We are recommending a minimum age of 10 years old, but that is up to parent's discretion. We can try to accommodate different ability levels, but it is more difficult at invasive removal events.

All ages and abilities welcome, but those younger than 14 must be accompanied by an adult.

Prior registration is required. Every adult in party needs to fill out separate registration.

All volunteers will self-pre-screen before arriving at a volunteer project location. If you answer “yes” to any of the COVID screening questions, please let us know that you are unable to attend and please stay home.

1) Known exposure in 14 days
2) Temperature taken before event and above 100
